May 11, 2005 Nichol's Point, VT / Rouses Point, NY / St Paul Island Walnut QC (26.0 nm. 44th stop) 10588nm


Leaving Nichol's Point we had thought of making a quick stop''technique''in Rouses Point, or we would have made a last''full''at the local liquor store. But the forecast is again a gust of wind, so we decided to go directly to Customs. Well, we took, because once we learn the Customs concluded that the boat that preceded 3 hours earlier, managed to agree to open exceptionally on railway bridge. It was time to get to the famous bridge and join the yacht is still awaiting the opening, half an hour later, it happens. A full day of won! We finally arrived at the docks of the Marina Gagnon, France no longer holds up, the trip is over ... it just have to sell the boat ... what is now done!
So if you have any questions about our travel advice, a captain, crew ... do not hesitate to contact me.

May 10, 2005 Ft Ticonteroga / Nichol 's Point, VT (58.0 nm. 43rd stop) 10562nm


superb weather, the thermometer rises to 26oC and the wind blows SE5/10, which gives us a small wave in the same direction as we go. It's strange how the creeks, islands that we find so small suddenly seem greater now that we're coming back. Lake Champlain is truly the most beautiful stretch of water since our return from Miami. The water is transparent, even if it is dark, it is certainly more attractive than no 'matter or between here and the extreme South Florida. Numerous bays provide anchorage well protected and still provide a fascinating skyline with the mountains along the entire perimeter of the lake.

Brown Mucus Discharge Day Of The Test

May 9, 2005 Ft Edwards / FtTiconteroga, NY (41.0 nm. 42nd stop) 10504nm


last stop before Lake Champlain. The lock waiting for us at number 7 holder of the village and passing, we discover the installation of new dock (without water or electricity) that would allow for boats going north to''make''another lock and for those heading south, to discover too late that the wharf in the village is full.
The locks were all ropes and once again the doors open, without having to call. We arrive at Whitehall and past the''downtown''we see three floating docks and more than concrete. We would like to stop and visit the city, the birthplace of the U.S. Navy set for war of 1812 with Canada! But the pass expires and you do not want to renew with only a lock to make. Once the lock, the employee we mentioned that we could have stayed an extra day without charge and the boats going south arriving late in the day they let a day pass extentionné to enable them to visit the city. Damage, have known before entering the airlock, we would certainly have visited the city. But now the lock is closed and we descended the last 5 meters, which take us back to the level of Lake Champlain, or 32 meters.
Four hours later we anchored in 7 feet of water, and for the first time in years, without the concern of the tide, before Fort Ticonderoga, the exact same spot 5 years ago.

Leaving the cozy Waterford and headed towards the first 6 locks. The lock this without too much problem, brand new mooring we welcome each of the locks, the doors open without waiting when we arrived ... we must say that is probably the only 2 boats to sail today, also a keeper we kindly mention that the weather the next day ... It
accosting the concrete wharf in the village who like 5 years ago, have always looked so deserted. But, also, water and electricity are free.

6 and 7 May 2005 Castleton on Hudson / Waterford NY (17.0 nm. 40th stop) 10430nm




We start from Castleton to 10hrs to enjoy the beginning of the updraft and achieve the new dock in Albany before the current was too violent. The only problem is that the famous pier in question is conspicuous by its absence. So no visit to the capital of the state of New York.
It therefore continues to our first lock, (federal, free and therefore not part of the package of 2 days) but as we approach the dam backed by the lock, the current slows the boat, barely, 4 kN!
The lock will go smoothly, slides allow us to spend our moorings and set up a dozen feet gently. We drop anchor at the dock
Waterford City. The''local'' make a big effort to attract tourism river. The dock is free, electricity and water too. We leave a deposit (refundable) of $ 5 for a key giving access to toilet and shower. As a bonus, free internet site!
A ten minute walk, a very nice grocery store really offer us everything and a little later, a second grocery (Price Chopper) offers us the best price but with a wider selection in the style USA, 1970 ... Like most
the cities of Hudson Valley, who flourished during the construction of the Erie and Champlain Canal and then the two lines of railway along the banks of the Hudson, Waterford has collapsed but now, thanks to a renovation of city centers and channels, it goes (very slowly) the coast. But the city still has a long way to go, they certainly deserve a mention for the effort.
This weekend,''is''Canal Fest, and docks are flooded with onlookers came to see the exhibitors (rather bric a brac) and some country singers, jazz, folk groups, puppeteers, comic stand to benefit Scouts, veterans, etc.. The atmosphere is friendly, and as said before, good will is not lacking.

We start very early, slightly before the turn of the tide, to take advantage of the current ascending to Castleton or dismasted. That night, he does 1oC and water this morning''''Butt! But already the sun seems to promise a great day.
We arrived at 13:00 the crane to Castleton and it starts in shorts and T shirts! A great day! With the unexpected, it helps a great Bénéteau with an old couple dismasted, not having done, we'd still! At 19h, the three boats were dismasted and tied over the dead bodies (always $ 5), we also take this opportunity to buy the pass for the locks. The crane is still $ 50, inflation has not arrived in Castleton ... except the price of fuel!

Large Breasted Women Of The 60's

May 4, 2005 Newburgh / Kingston, NY (27.0 nm. 38th stop) 10372nm


We start on an overcast and very cold (4oC) Fortunately, in the way the sun broke through the clouds and timidly the thermometer rises to 8oC. We arrived in Kingston, just in time for the turn of the tide. We anchored in the river bottom before the railway bridge, and it goes to explore the city, which she also received a program of reclamation of the old center. But, as y '5 years, the same shops are half abandoned the premises are empty and the only ones who prosper are the restaurants. The downtown is dying, it must be mild a shopping mall in the corner ...
As y 'five years, we began to research a grocery store, supposedly to 1 kilometer, according to some guides. And like 5 years ago, we did not find it. Listening to my heart, this time, it takes major step and we stop at the information desk, which is certainly better than asking the premises. (One to indicate the direction East, and his companion, to indicate the direction West ...)
Muni, a map of the city, it turns on and 45 minutes later we arrive at a convenience store! Another 20 minutes later we arrive at a bakery as indicated by the tourist office ... the only problem is the door's closed, there is a sign offering to sell kitchen equipment and furniture for the dining room. Are chairs for $ 5 you interested in? In
Retracing our steps, we see a parking lot behind a placard with''''Fruits & Vegetables, a small (real) store with fruits and vegetables, meats and cheeses cut and all at prices as good as in supermarkets. The shop is run by Latinos and strangely, the local tourist office does not seem to know of its existence ... In summary, Kingston, There are (now) a grocery store, not 1 km, but rather to 4 kilometers.

Best Drugstore Corrective Concealer

3 May 2005 Nyack / Newburgh, NY (29.0 nm. 37th stop) 10345nm




One starts with the push of the tide and we do not force, 7.0 kn. We are rapidly reaching behind Pollepel Island with its famous castle ruins Bannerman. (Ruined, because in reality it was a deposit of dynamite and it exploded, there is a forty year.) But the site is impressive and the building and outbuildings with their many turrets really gives the Print it's a castle, so that even knowing its history, one is almost convinced that it is. But it is so early that the unexpected continues its road 5 miles away, to a new berth that we do not know. So we decide to wait until he calls us by radio to confirm the installation of docks Yes! A restaurant offers its clientele 55 dock spaces, free of charge! An hour later we set sail, but the current began to turn. We no longer than 4.8 kn, fortunately we are near the anchorage area along Western Hudson, before the restaurant''Torches'' and the Town of Newburgh. City who has known better days, judging from the size of some homes and buildings, including the YMCA, which dates from 1889 and is downright huge. Like many small American cities, she has known a boom with the construction of the railway and one or two plants. Today the city is renovated, much green space to replace the warehouses, but the place is dead, the shops are all on the decline. People in the street totally air 'biz''! The liquor store''''looks like a bank counter with bottles caged behind a counter ... like the SAQ in the 60s! Next door,''offers''three small grocery stores, Indian, Caribbean and a WASP (White Anglo Saxon Protestant) but all three offer, next to nothing, some caning, refrigerators full of soda and lots and lots of scratch !
Fortunately a very nice library awaits us where we can read the latest news and making the Internet.

May 2, 2005 Liberty Isld. / Nyack, NY (90.0 nm. 36th stop) 10288nm




Despite two days of light rain or drizzle rather, we took the opportunity to visit New York, still exciting, fascinating and boundless. If possible, the city is more vibrant world of lights. New buildings have sprung up to replace the''old''fifties who was only 15/20 floors. The glass and steel have replaced the old dirty brick walls, the towers are always higher but more open than before.
To go to New York, we started from Jersey City who is in total upheaval. What was that dozens of factories, hundreds of abandoned warehouses, are now being razed, the land cleaned and a new city is being born, the streets are wider, thousands of trees were planted and new buildings are being built, office buildings, condominiums and shopping center but obviously in a much more harmonious than the''old''city. We have an opportunity to appreciate these drastic changes because we took a tram that winds ultramodern new streets in his lane, lined with trees. In twenty years, it will certainly be a very beautiful city. For now, we still see the cranes, demolishing old buildings, land to be filtered and the layout of future streets, all with wide sidewalks ... the Americans will perhaps get back to work!
After two days of marches in the streets of New York and traveled the very old, but to my surprise, very clean subway we leave New York for the last leg of our journey, the ascent up the Hudson Lake Champlain to benefit from the tide rising, we share in early afternoon and it is anchored in the anchorage area in Nyack, a small village, which looks interesting and pretty. Too bad we did not find the thingy in New York''WiFi''that would allow us to connect to the Internet from the boat.
Wetting is very good, firmly anchor was planted in clay. I hope that the consistency will not be the same as New York, the pudding with a good dose of ink, I had had a generous sampling, as for some reason escaped the windlass'' '' anchor spun and left almost 30 meters of warp, I was all over my jacket and deck, disgusting! But to return to Nyack, anchoring should be very uncomfortable with the wind north / south and a tide against the wind, because there is no protection.

Tingling Fingers After Orgasm

April 29 to May 1, 2005 Atlantic City / Liberty Isld. NY (90.0 nm. 35th stop) New. 10288nm





At the last minute, call the Guard Coast to inform me of the entrance to Barnegat that I'm not so confident. Fortunately! Admission is officially maintained at 5 feet ... as we know that we hang the bottom in areas with a''guarantee''of 10 feet. In addition, arriving in the entry of an inlet with a falling tide, always provokes a phenomenon of waves with waves reaching 6 feet easily, hit bottom in these conditions would be irretrievably lost the boat. So we start at 04:00 am, and it makes its way through the tiny pass. Again, Yallah!, Hit bottom and putting the engine thoroughly managed to plow a path through the gelatinous mud. Fortunately,''The Unexpected''which takes at least we had opened the way! Still, we managed to rub against a post that marks the end of the channel and spend barely 3 feet of pillars that are barely visible in the dark.
output at sea is easy because we stall and is spun on a glassy sea to Sandy Hook, and if possible the Statue of Liberty is only 5 miles longer than the wetting Sandy Hook. The only problem is to get there before the turn of the tide that would make those 5 miles very, very long to do especially late in the day.
After a glorious day on a calm sea with too little wind, it nevertheless succeeds thanks to the engine, the game streams to reach the peak of Atlantic Highlands at the entrance of the huge bay of New York around 16:00 there is only ten miles. The current is still with us, and the wind begins to rise. It was therefore decided to aim at the statue. Just the decision, the boat slows down, we have the current against us! It points to the west central part of the bay and surprise, Yallah! starts to spin 7kN! But an hour later we arrived in the huge bridge Verrazanno and we meet the current of the Hudson River. Immediately, the wave form and with the wind blowing now 20kN, Yallah! riding the crest of waves through the cargo up and down the main channel. As we approach the mouth of the Hudson, it has eyes everywhere at once, cargo ships that seem so slow, but arriving at a surprising rate,''the''ferries that ply the harbor across the directions, tugs, emerging from nowhere, to go to meet a freighter, the fantastic scenery of the city, logs, trees, beams, planks of plywood coming down the Hudson floating on the water's edge, all among thirty freight ships and block our view of possible dangers. We eventually anchored behind the Statue of Liberty at 18:30, next to''''Safi arrived yesterday''and''The Unexpected who preceded us a few minutes.
After 90 nautical miles, a hot shower, a Scotch and sleep!

Disadvantage Of A Liquid Cooling System Engine

26 to 28 April 2005 Cape May / Atlantic City (34.0 nm. 34th stop) New Jersey. 10198nm


Day superb, 5 / 10 kn wind SSW, is spun on a long swell to Atlantic City, the only problem is the entrance of the inlet it takes for the tide ' 'tonic''looks like another. They had not experienced a turbulent entry like this since Miami in 2000. Since there is a storm warning is anchored in a pocket accessible through a tiny portion (10 'wide) and we anchor behind Rum Pt in 10 feet of water. At least here we are sheltered from strong current there at anchor''official''. The problem of this anchorage is that it will get out of date and not at low tide. We remain''stuck''for 2 days, until the wind subsided and the wave grows. Until the weather improves, we just decided we will not do a direct to New York, but we cut the trip by stopping at Barnegat Inlet, hoping that the entry is not too rock n roll!

Bad Taste In Mouth From Gas Heater

April 25, 2005 Chesapeake City / Cape May (73.1 nm. 33rd stop) New Jersey. 10164nm


We leave early, because if the Delaware Bay (which bad character) is not too removed, I would make the trip in one go. We thus avoid Isld Reeds is an anchorage uncomfortable and far too close to where we are, to make it profitable, and Cohansey River, which looks lost in the middle of nowhere and which anyway is very poorly marked on the cards.
Leaving our anchorage, we bulldozons our way through the mud, the output is 5'7'', fortunately the background is soft, it manages to engage in the channel where we have the pleasant surprise to walk to 8.5 kn, sometimes 9kn! It is expelled to the Delaware Bay and once out of channel protection we enter into a washing machine! It was soon joined by another boat Quebec (The Unforeseen), which we just learned, is the same road as us. Luckily a 25kn wind helps us move to 5.5 kn against the tide and about noon, just opposite the entrance to Cohansey River is backwards on the tide and Yallah! starts to tumble to 7.5 kn and often peaks at 9.4 kn! The wave that was decidedly unpleasant turns into a long wave 3 / 4 back 3 to 4 feet. I'm going to wipe my glasses and see clearly!
We arrived at 15:30 and we anchored at the exact same place 5 years ago. The difference is that the place is dead. The tourist season and boats is not commenced, marinas seem closed. The day was long, I crossed continuously for 9 hours a boat that constantly wanted to show his hand''dashing'', but nevertheless, it agrees with another boat Quebec enjoy the last day of fine weather From the next day to join Atlantic City that offers a better wetting than Cape May, in addition, we pressed hard at work to enjoy the first window weather and do our last great fishing trip to New York

My Mole Hurts And Changing Colour

April 24, 2005 Annapolis / Chesapeake City (54.9 m off 32nd) Maryland. 10091nm


The minimum advertised on the weather appears slightly fitted, so we decided to go along with Safi. Wind from NW 15/20kn with peaks of 25 brings us quickly up the Chesapeake Bay in the canal connecting the Delaware Bay. The wave is strong enough but you almost always 6 kN and this eliminates a stop on our way to Cape May
Admission for Mooring is almost blocked by a shoal one enters with just 7 feet and the tide has not finished off, since the number of years that the base is present, it appears that a buoy would not be luxury, but still ...

¨ ¨ is cold front arrived! It is cold but very beautiful and almost no wind (15/20kn). It was therefore decided to go to Annapolis, which for us is THE nautical city par excellence. We find our Brazilian friends Bicho ¨ ¨ and we wait for the temperature rise and rise of other Quebec vessels before starting the rest of the trip to the lake. The city is still as beautiful and welcoming, often the question comes, ¨ Are you boaters? ¨ and immediately following an offer of help. Unlike most cities in Florida, there are public docks at every street leading down to Spa Creek, it makes no change from ° trespassing ·, ° Private ¨ or the most generous ... 7 to $ 10 in order to put the foot- to-earth! The bus is still cheap (0.75 cents) by the grocery store is much cons more expensive than in Florida or elsewhere, a consolation ... the Vini (cubic) 5 liter cheaper than the same 3-liter in Florida.

How To Congratulate In Arab Baby

8 to 10 April 2005 Deltaville / Solomon 's Island (55.1 m. 30th stop) Maryland. 10000nm



Still no wind! The weather is beginning to scare me ... losing patience. Deltaville is perhaps a good place to spend a gale, but on land there is nothing that moves. It was therefore decided to lift anchor to 6:45. Half an hour later, after cleaning the chain and anchor it is finally ready for departure. But meanwhile the fog settles and we see just the first two buoys out. The time to go to the first buoy, we do not see anything! Even our anchorage, we just left, disappeared. The channel is so narrow, we can not rely on GPS. Weather records, calculates and indicates our position on the map, it is already out of the channel and of course it ran aground ... once, twice, three times! We finally managed to find our first buoy has suddenly reappeared. We anchored a few feet and wait. This is crazy! Buoys appear and disappear like to taunt us. One moment, the veil of mist and tears we see, for once, or we are. It is the anchor, but again the mist around us again. It was just time to move our former anchorage to await the lifting of fog. Two hours later, the eight buoys that mark the channel has only 1000 feet reappear, for once, all together. We share!
We managed to safely get out of the channel, the sea of oil, there is not a breath of wind, (30kn announced) and barely 5 minutes later, the horizon disappears, the mist fell on the bay. Fortunately, we got out of the creek Deltaville and now we have at least fifteen feet below the keel. The GPS will finally be able to do its job. It remains for us to listen for engine noise coming ... We are now
in Chesapeake Bay, and we sail as much as possible among the floats crab cages, it's safer, no boat should normally be with us ¨ ° looking. Around noon, suddenly, a sharp blow, the fog rises. We see in about 3 freighters or barges pulled by a tugboat. It continues in the areas of fisheries, crab buoys and especially that we secure a few minutes later, the mist falls and completely covers the landscape. It remains for us to follow the rows of buoys. They do not have defects that, if as in the Chesapeake Bay, are well placed, straight line, with equal distances between each row, which becomes almost a way forward, away from the commercial traffics.
Finally, in the afternoon, the wind rises and a thin rain begins to fall, arrives at Solomon's 19:00, just at dusk. We are tired, but happy with our day. Solomon's offers as good an anchor as Deltaville, where gale, but offers in addition to grocery stores (including one exceptionally) a West Marine, a Boater's World, a laundry, a place to deposit garbage, propane etc. .

We leave the dock at Great Bridge, the first opening of the lock and make the last 11 miles which brings us to ° Mile 0 °, the end / beginning of the Intracoastal in Norfolk . The forecast is a good wind, so we decided to skip the classic case of Norfolk. It passes through the giant port, headquarters of the Atlantic fleet of American war ... it looks like 5 years since he grew stronger, certainly rejuvenated.
We leave the Bay in Hampton Roads and a good crosswind 15kN with the boost the falling tide to propel us 8kN on the merits. At noon, we entered the Chesapeake Bay and after a beautiful sunny day with 26oC is anchored at 18 am in Jackson Creek. Admission is always special issue ¨ with its passage 15 feet wide and 90 ° curve, within 50 feet of a small beach that seems ready to welcome the first browser dizzy ... But here, we will be well protected for the cold front again · Advert No. for that night and all day tomorrow.

After a very quiet night we enter the last one stretch ¨ river and canal. Very disappointing, the main channel is much less beautiful than the other alternative, the Dismal Canal. The vegetation is not as nice, lots of branches and trunks of trees in midwater float, for cons, the water level is less · annoying ¨ Dismal as that of which is between 6 and 8 feet ... What is missing, is the extraordinary welcome given by the ¨ ¨ Buddies Rose Elizabeth City ¨ exit Dismal. Another irritant is the three bridges that were impossible to follow a schedule for a sailboat, a result, half past one waiting. The Dismal does not have this constraint, so that two boats left at the same time, with substantially the same distance to go, arrive at the same time, but one of them, will be less · Stress ¨ and has had the opportunity to meet other travelers in wines from ° cheeses offered by the ¨ ¨ Rose Buddies ¨.

This morning, after battling for 45 minutes to clean up the anchor and the chain is left with a good side wind of 20kN. It is in a flash the 20 miles from the Pamlico River and 15 miles from the Aldermale Sound with a wave sideways, which occasionally m'asperge themselves. We anchored behind an island platform does not offer much protection, but it is the only place to 20 miles around. Hopefully the wind calm, promised by the weather, materializes.

1 to 4 April 2005 Belhaven / Alligator Creek, buoy G43 (33.3 m/102 m = 1092.8, 2m/26e stop) North Carolina. 9817nm


We start early in order to make this, hopefully, a safer anchorage. I flash a ¨ ¨! Today 38 years ago I went to Sears to Quebec! That was yesterday!
The day is beautiful and what is encouraging is that despite the fact that we're cold front FULL LOAD ° ¨, the temperature is not unpleasant. After leaving Belhaven, we commit ourselves in a perfectly straight channel, only two buoys, 2 bridges, 2 houses, 3 or 4 trailers and nothing else, that trees ... for 20 miles! I begin to dream in France on a channel of the same length, it would probably crossed, 6 castles and 12 villages, 24 taverns 36 wineries! What to spend at least a week navigate. Today, we made 33 miles a day, because we had the luxury of a 26-mile detour when one realized that the boat slowed more than the wind rose and the wave grew bigger and longer than we had in the face, has a point, we prefer to turn back and return to anchor ourselves in the same place almost 5 years ago in a ¨ nowhere ¨.
We remain stuck ¨ ¨ (speak French!) With, for 36 hours, sustained winds of 30kn and 40kn peaks and unfortunately in the axis of the anchor. A huge wave is formed in the anchor, the bow regular and the wave penetrates right down over the deckhouse and occasionally (rarely ...) passes over dodger ¨ ¨. Hell! The rest of the time, we are happy with the wind drops of 25kn and peak 32/35kn.
The anchor seemed to have kept good, but at the time of departure, I noticed that the rope I had brought unusually, he is gone ... been a part taken by degrees to the bottom of the anchor that has slipped and as the background is a glue-style chocolate pudding, it was completely buried. Going up the anchor, he resurfaced, once the anchor installed and backing up. The float of the rope had become the second anchor with a big sticky ball of clay! Strangely, this may be what has helped us and prevented from sliding completely and hold it in place.
